Chapter 134 - Chapter 136 (1/2)
There were more islands in the New World then people could count. Many were known, but most were not. There was one island in the New World that had attracted a lot of attention from two very powerful groups. And those two groups were the Beast Pirates and the Gotei 13. Two Emperor's that were feared by the entire Grand Line, and right now on this island two powerful men were fighting with their lives on the line. And they were Guts, commander of the Gotei, and Jack, an All-Star of the Beast Pirates.
This island was one that the Beast Pirates and The Gotei 13 found at the same time. And they both needed it so this battle that was currently ongoing just kept escalating because these two were equally matched in power. Guts won in physical strength by a lot, but Jack's defence, stamina and endurance far outranked Guts. So they still hadn't gotten any advantage over each other.
They stood and traded blows, Jack with his scythes and Guts with his massive two-handed sword and his fists. Guts was a master in armament haki so his fists could easily trade blows with Jack's weapons.
”You are one annoying tiny ant, you know that!” Jack said with bloodshot eyes. Guts showed no emotions, he just stood there with his sword and glared at Jack.
”hm, annoying indeed.” Guts said and he dashed towards Jack and they clashed again. They were fighting on a big grass plane. The fight started by the coastline and now they were fighting in the middle of the island. Guts sword was swung with a crazy speed which was hard to believe because of it being such a heavy sword. Each blow increased in power, and Jack blocked and redirected every blow, but he could feel himself losing ground during tradeoff they had.
Guts charged up his blow and finally it managed to penetrate Jack's defence and his sword sliced into Jack's shoulder, ”AAH! YOU BASTARD!” Jack raged and swung his scythes at Guts but missed because Guts ducked under them. Guts then dashed forward again so he was directly below Jack, and he jumped up and his punch landed square on Jack's face and sent him crashing backwards.
”Looks like you have this under control,” Cal said as she had appeared behind Guts.
”Hm, annoying,” Guts complained and went and picked up his sword that he let go off during his dash. He looked at the blood on the sword and smiled.
Cal stood there and stared at Guts, ”I heard Kaido is coming to kill you off for good. That's what Annabelle's clone inside Wano reported. So who knows how accurate it is, it might just be King or Queen coming.” Cal said and crossed her arms.
”You heard the news?” Guts said and glanced at Cal, not seeming to care about Kaido potentially coming to kill him.
”You mean Captain? Yeah, he is back, he is probably on his way here.” Cal said with a little more respectful tone.
”Good, we will need it!” Guts said and pointed at the distance. And far into the distance, you could see a bunch of clouds moving towards them in an unnatural manner. And on the top of those clouds was a massive eastern dragon.
”Well, that is interesting. I didn't think the big guy would actually come here just for a skirmish. There must be something more to this than him being bored, right?” Cal said and sighed. And Jack finally came walking from the distance. He was a little dizzy from that blow to the head. Guts was the strongest physical fighter among the commanders, so Jack had quite the headache after that punch to the head.
”Look over there elephant boy, your captain is coming,” Cal yelled over to Jack in the distance and pointed at the dragon coming towards them. Jack's face lit up in delight but also fear as his captain despised failure. He glared angerly at Guts and Cal and clenched his fists and took a step forward towards their direction, but hesitated because he could hear Kaido roar angerly in the distance.
”You bastards will die today, and I do hope that your coward of a captain does come so I can kill him myself,” Jack said while glaring at Guts. In the next second Cal appeared in front of Jack's face and punched him on the head with a downwards punch so he was slammed down on the ground headfirst. The ground cracked from Jack's head hitting it.
Cal drew her sword and started falling towards Jack, ready to pierce his head. But a giant Pteranodon came flying towards Cal, so she was forced to abandon her attack and defend against its claws with her sword.
It transformed into a massive man in a black leather full-body outfit. He landed beside Jack and immediately scoffed at Jack's pathetic performance against Cal and Guts, ”Get up, how can you put on such a pathetic show for Lord Kaido?”
